WHAT IS A TRIPTYCH?
Triptych photography examples are any 3 images that create a full image or theme. For example, the image below is a theme of red barns in the Palouse. Most of my triptych images are panoramas that are split into 3 sections. Triptych ideas are only limited by the imagination. They can be 2 small images on the left with one on top of the other and a large one on the right. It can be set up with a large one on top and two smaller prints below or any combination you can think. Just remember that it can only be 3 images so set it up how you want. There is no right or wrong way.
The Palouse has some of the best barns for landscape photography. In fact, it has some of the best landscapes for landscape photography.

HISTORY OF TRIPTYCHS
Triptychs have a rich history that dates back to the medieval times, where they were used as altarpieces in churches. Over time, the form of triptychs evolved and became a popular medium for artists to tell stories and convey messages. In the 19th and 20th centuries, triptychs became a popular form of expression for modern artists, leading to an explosion in the popularity of triptych prints in contemporary art.
An overnight rain and snow storm covered the Mount Sneffels mountain range in a light dusting of snow. Although the light did not quite work out like we wanted the scene with the fall color and hay bales was a perfect combination. The Double RL Ranch owned by Ralph Lauren offers perfect views of the Sneffels Range. Offering a panoramic fine art print as a triptych is a unique way to present the image in your home or office gallery. The size of the image is the combined width and height of all 3 images.

This creates a cohesive look that is both eye-catching and visually pleasing. Triptych prints come in a range of styles, from traditional and classic to contemporary and modern, allowing you to find the perfect match for your personal style and taste.
Storytelling: Triptychs are an excellent medium for storytelling, as they allow the artist to convey a message or tell a story through a series of related images. This makes triptychs an ideal choice for those who are looking to add a touch of story and meaning to their home gallery.
Space-saving: Triptych prints are an excellent space-saving option, as they take up less wall space compared to individual prints. This makes them ideal for smaller spaces or rooms with limited wall space. With a triptych, you can create a large impact with minimal wall space, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to your home gallery.
The Palouse is August during harvest time is when very few photographers arrive. I finally made it during the harvest for a few days on my way back to Seattle from Eastern Oregon. I think it is my new favorite time of year. The warm hues of the fields, the golden hours during sunset casting shadows across the loess hills, creating a sense of warmth. This triptych of images was taken during the harvest season. The 3 images are designed to hang close together in your home gallery. Limited Edition of 50 prints available.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TRIPTYCH
With so many triptych prints available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your home gallery. Here are a few things to consider when making your selection:
Style: Consider the style of your home gallery when choosing a triptych print. For example, a traditional triptych print may complement a classic, elegant style, while a modern triptych may be more suitable for a contemporary home.
Subject Matter: Think about the subject matter you prefer, as triptych prints come in a variety of themes and subjects. Whether you prefer landscapes, portraits, or abstract art, there is a triptych print to suit your tastes.
Size: Consider the size of your wall space and choose a triptych print that will fit comfortably. Take into account the size of the individual panels as well as the overall size of the triptych when making your selection.
CONCLUSION
Any 3 images put together can be a triptych but it doesn't mean it looks good. Using a panorama split into 3 but dividing an important part of the image is not what you want. Triptych are about a theme, light, atmosphere, etc. The images tell a story. Buying limited edition triptychs should be fun and start a conversations with anyone who sees it. Use it to fill a large wall space that only a triptych can. Maybe a panorama is too small, maybe the panorama can't be printed large enough. A triptych can have 3 images that are 30x45 resulting in an image that is 135 inches wide. Print shops may not be able to print 135 inches but they can do 45 inches. Now you can have the panorama but in a triptych for a new look. Next time you want a large print for your home or office gallery, think about adding a triptych for something different.

Until next time, remember, unless you are being paid, fill the frame with what you like.

Standing at the Dallas Divide near Ridgway, Colorado just after a storm rolled through the area showing off the brilliant fall color. A single image would not do this scene justice so I made panorama then divided it into a tryptic. The pointy peak in the background is Mount Sneffels standing 14,158 feet tall and located in the Uncompahgre National Forest.
